Purpose and Audience of the Catechism

The catechism aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis of essential Catholic doctrines concerning faith and morals, taking into account the insights from the Second Vatican Council and the Church's traditions. It is primarily intended for bishops responsible for catechesis, acting as a teaching tool for priests and catechists. Additionally, the catechism is accessible to all Christian faithful, allowing a wider audience to familiarize themselves with the teachings of the Catholic Church. This approach seeks to ensure that the Church's timeless truths are effectively communicated across different generations and communities.
